Surfaces
Surfaces sit on each other: sidebar → page panel → card shell → card → popup. Quiet fills are relative: the same class reads one step from whatever surface it sits on. Elevation says how high a surface sits.
Elevation
One edge at every level: a translucent ring outside the fill, so it takes the color of whatever sits behind it. Higher levels add drop; in dark the drops vanish and the white ring carries the edge.
Stack
Each layer shows the same fill classes.
